The chetsworth Railway Accident.

The telegraph reports that fires hal been
burning for several days along the line oI
the Peoria road, on which the horrible ac-
cident occurred, killing and manning sew
eral hundred people, and that the timbers
which support the bridge when the acci-
dent happened had all been burned away
before the excursion train approached.
If this be true, no worse case OF criml-
nal negligence has ever been recorded,
and every man in any way responsible
should be punished with the utmost rigor
OF the law, In fact, the law itself is def
cient in providing punishment adequate
to the enormlty of the crime.
1t is utterly useless to place laws upon
the statute books requiring careful super
vision OF railways and providing punish
ments for neglect unless provision Is made
by which the managers Of the railways can
le keld accountable and punished for the
failure to provide competent men, under
good pay, to perform proper supervision.
Not many years have passed since an ac'

eident occurred on one OF the leallng rail-
ways Of the country which was clearly
shown to be the result OF the nlggArdly
policy Of the management In failing to pro.
vide proper guards upon the line of the
read, and yet no one was punished or even
indicted.
The laws in existence should be enforced
vigorously, and, In the case under consider
alton, to tho fullest penalties, and such
other laws made as will hold the chief OIL
Gers Of the railway responsible for acct
dents which happen through any failure to
provide proper inspections aud guards.

additional foot.

equalizcd by diminishing the charge for
each additional front foot and making every
